Originally posted by Silverthorn View PostI encountered no such bug but I was a bit surprised by the need for superuser to configure my monitors.
Inspecting the .640 built packages by running sh ./ati-<whatever it's called> --buildpkg Ubuntu/9.04 turned up no packages containing such a file.
9.7 and below ran catalyst control center w/o complaining as a user app.
9.8 catalyst control center started showing to make any changes, etc. must be run as administrator, run the super-user version. (Thet's been there for several versions now, but I've never needed to use it to make changes until 9.8)
So, all I can say is that you're likely using a different distro than I am, or you're using the automatic install which may install the additional file.
[EDIT]
I just noticed in amdccle 9.7 & 8 package
Code:/usr/share/applnk/amdccclesu.kdelnk
[/EDIT]
[EDIT2]
I added http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1638
I'm frightened by their ticketing system though as it still thinks that 9.7 is the most recent catalyst, or it didn't give me a 9.8 version option when I picked the linux driver... I wonder how many thing never get fixed because they don't keep their QA stuff updated...

And I plan to use it for 6 years, so

Anyways, I filed this as a bug, as my build it clearly specifies that app/script to escalate privileges for ccc, yet it just does not exist...
I mean, this is a driver package that I downloaded from AMD directly, built the recommended --buildpkg <distro>/<version>, etc. It's a bug at least for Ubuntu 9.04 x86-64.

I had a 32bit AMD Athlon 2800 XP+, 1GB RAM and a Radeon 9800pro (r3xx) and that could easily still run everything including UT3 on medium settings, but stuff got a little slow, it wasn't that responsive anymore (not multicore) with KDE4 and desktop effects. So I thought about needing an upgrade so that everything out there today would run as fast and great as software did back in the day that I bought my 2800+.
And what the hell: I have learned that the more money you spend on your pc, the longer you can do with it per euro spend. Of cource spending too much money on a pc makes the lifetime shorter per euro spend. It all about graphs and mathematics

Since when is 1000 dollars alot for a pc? Thats just how much you are willing to pay for it.

@LordMozilla: OK so now I am an online hardware reviewer/advertiser on teh Phoronix forums. Errrr Phoronix itself is a hardware review site, so you might want to rethink that post xD
1000 euro's for hardware here is about what you would get for a 1000 dollars in the US. Doesn't relly make a difference, unless you import of course
But most people do 3 years with their 600E pc; I do 6 years with my 1000E hardware. And if I have to and if I don't have the money for it at that time then I can easily do longer with that hardware. Computers and are also (among other things) my hobby and hobbies, guess what, cost money. Simple as that. Everybody can buy a Pentrium 3 box, run fluxbox, firefox, OO.o and Microsoft Office 2003 under Wine for 100E and a 17" flatscreen, keyboard and mouse for 100E extra. So none of anybody's shit heres makes any sence. I felt my computer couldn't handle stuff as fast as I wanted, so I upgraded. Can we please stop about this particular thing/annoyance?
